Can a Blue Green Chromis Live With a French Angelfish?

✗ Not recommended in most tanks

Verdict from our compatibility engine, assuming a typical 90-gallon reef tank. Score: 0/100.

Why

  • Tank heavily stocked (297%) — over recommended load
  • Size capacity hard block: Tank far too small (90gal for 240.0gal min)
  • Reef safety hard block: Not reef-safe — French Angelfish will damage coral/inverts

It can work if…

  • Tank is nearing capacity — consider removing a resident before adding this one
  • Social concern — review this species' social requirements before adding
  • Schooling species — add at least 4 more companions for best health
  • Upgrade to a larger tank — this species needs more volume
  • Reef safety concern — relocate or rehome before adding to a reef tank
